Comments (English):Great hostel, very homey feeling. The staff is super nice and helpful, we had Maira help us out with a lot of info! Very liberal in terms of what you’re allowed to do. Also within walking distance of the French quarter. The hostel itself was very clean as well. The terrace outside is very nice and the immediate area is very safe, we parked our car right out front the whole night. Definitely recommend staying here if you’re on a budget or just want a unique experience!

Comments (English):We booked a room with a double bed for $60. We like staying in hostels and don't mind sharing bathroom and kitchen while traveling. Upon arrival the staff was very helpful and friendly. The location was nice, in a neighborhood away from the hustle of the French Quarter. We like walking and the French Quarter was about a 30 minute walk from the hostel. Our room, however, had no windows and was right next to the tile-floored kitchen/common area which echoed everything. Every time anyone entered the hostel or spoke in the common space, it was very loud and we did not sleep well. The bed had a squeaky plastic liner and our one comforter did not feel like enough on the chilly night, but there were no extra blankets and the staff is not there from 11pm-7am. The breakfast was very minimal (pancake batter with pancake fixings). If you are only paying $25 for a room in one of the dorms and don't mind a little grime or noise, I think this place would be worth it, but in my opinion, paying $60 for the room that we had was not a good use of our money. For an extra $30 we could have in a hotel.

Comments (English):My stay at the Garden District House (GDH) was okay. I stayed for 5 days in a private room, which was clean, quiet, and secure. I was provided towels, which I appreciated. The room lacked a dresser and hooks for hanging clothes. Only one outlet functioned, which I didn't like. There were two bathrooms and showers, which was good, however they were not high quality and lacked easy places to hang clothes and set down toiletries. The kitchen had many supplies but lacked hand towels and water pressure. The hostel is in a good location; it's close to Magazine Street and BlueBike bike share stations. The private room cost too much for the overall quality so I would not stay in it again for that price.

Comments (English):Garden District House is good depending on what you're looking forWe stayed in a private room 4 nights, for a great rateWe also stayed in Treme and French District

Location: The hostel was very quite, on a quieter street on the edge of the Garden District. Also, it was quiet season when we went, as well as Christmas (where most things are closed outside of the French Quarter). It was exceptional quiet when we went, so our experience may not be the norm.

Cleanliness: Good, no issues! The hostel room, common area, washrooms were all clean. You can tell its wiped down or checked up on at least daily

Atmosphere: QUIET. The TV area only has a love seat and 2 seater table. It does not give the traditional "hostel feel" where everyone can hang out together in a common space.If you are looking to make new friends here, perhaps stay in a dorm room, but everyone seemed to be keeping to themselvesLike a hotel, no mingling/fun events were laid out during Christmas time

I am a smaller female so it may be helpful to add that I felt a tad uneasy. At around 3AM someone was banging on the door and ringing the doorbell constantly. We didn't open the door, the vibe of the area made me feel uncomfortable with opening the door for anyone at that hour

Service: Reception is friendly and was chill. They were quiet nice, but it is not 24hrs. They tell ppl to call their helpline if assistance is needed. This is hard to do if you're not American with a phone plan. If they have an email/messenger app that was advertised as being monitored, this would be much better for foreign travellers with data/wifi access

Free Breakfast: Good! It was nice this was offered, the kitchen was clean. When we went it was self-made pancakes, apples, tea/coffee, oatmeal. Can't complain about free, it was a great option to have :)

Price: Fair! We paid a good rate, which was hard to find elsewhere. The location is good but I mind you it is not that central within the Garden District. But the price was so good it`s worth walking 10-20 more mins.

Comments (English):I recently stayed her when a friend of mine bailed on our trip to San Fran. On a whim, I decided to come to NOLA. I booked literally less than 24 hrs when my vacation started and I got a spot! The stay here was beyond amazing!! It was my first time staying in a hostel and this place exceeded my expectations! It’s a house converted so you get that homey and comfort vibe. The beds and room were clean and great. There’s even a patio in the middle of the house which is great to have breakfast and to read a book. The staff was helpful and great! Nadia especially! She was warming and welcoming! We talked about places to see, eat, bars, shopping, etc. By the end of my stay she wasn’t the staff to me any longer but a friend! I highly recommend this place. Trust me. You won’t regret it!

Comments (English):I stayed there about a year ago, there was someone taking stuff from my backpack in the middle of the night, you can definitely tell it was not by mistake as there was thin down jacket (I got four season clothes) it was summer and the bag was right next to my bed, everything in my bag were placed outside, i do have cash in the top pocket but it was locked, very clearly he was trying to take my stuff out to reach the pocket from the bottom, I called the police, that guy was not drunk not offended was trying to make things easy so you can tell he was definitely trying to steal. And this time I went back there cause other hostels in garden district were full, they literally told me due to previous conflicts I’m banned to stay at all of their 3 hostels forever, which is really funny, I actually don’t know which conflict they refer to, cause in French Quarter hostel there was a reception accuse me for pacing in and out of a dorm room continuously 7-8 times, does it even make sense? While after 3 am there were people drinking, dancing, playing loud music in the common area while the dorm right next to it there were people sleeping, the lights were left on and door was left wide open! And the reception says its a hostel it’s common!

Comments (English):This was my first time using a hostel. This was my first time in New Orleans. The staff of the Garden District House are very professional, courteous, and kind. I had the greatest time meeting people from all over the world!

I will definitely be back to visit the great city of New Orleans. I will MOST definitely stay at the Garden District House again. Thank you all!

Comments (English):Nice little hostel in good area of city. Nice staff. Hostel is fairly clean. Great value with breakfast included. My only critique is that the metal bunk bed in my room was a bit flimsy and squeaky. I suggest upgrading to sturdier wooden beds. Overall, great place to stay.
